How
far down a broken glass-filled path would you travel if you were barefoot?
How long could you eat contaminated meals before you suffered food
poisoning? How far could you travel in the desert without water? How
long would you last driving your car 100 miles per hour in a 40 mph
zone in a city? How far are you willing to take anything to the limit?

As
we add 100 million people to America by 2040, how far will this nation
continue growing past its limits? Consider today we already suffer
the following consequences before we add the next 100 million people.

40
percent of America�s rivers and 46 percent of its lakes are too polluted
for fishing and swimming in 2007.

7,700
species in our country stand at risk for extinction from habitat
loss.

Half
of the continental United States no longer supports native vegetation
since people have altered the terrain significantly with crops,
farms, roads, malls, housing, airports and endless development.

More
than half the U.S. population lives within 50 miles of the coast.

The
United States continues as the third fastest growing country in
the world.

The
U.S. absorbs more environmental refugees than all other nations
combined. How many annually? One million legally and two to three
million illegally add themselves to America each year.

At
300 million, U.S. citizens burn 20 million barrels of oil daily.
At 450 million, they will burn close to 30 million barrels per
day for energy.

The
average American uses 100 gallons of water daily. It takes over
1,000 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef.

105,000
cows are killed daily to feed U.S. population. Average of 20 million
chickens killed for American consumption daily.

50 percent of all wetlands in the United States have been destroyed.

With
the few examples above, do you see the picture? Do you see where the
United States is headed? Population drives our land use and development.

�Carrying
capacity� is the amount of land it takes to sustain a given species.

In
1997, the world exceeded its ecological carrying capacity by 39 percent
which equals 2.3 billion people. That explains why 2.3 billion humans
live in misery, suffering and human degradation.

Population-energy
expert Dell Erickson brings a more sobering aspect of carrying capacity
and �ecological footprint�. He said, �If the world�s average ecological
footprint in 1997 were the goal, the result would be that the world
could support 3.5 billion inhabitants. The UN currently projects the
world�s population at 2050 to be nine to ten billion. In order for
that population to maintain long term sustainability, the highest
average possible living standard would be an �ecological footprint�
approximately .8 percent�about the living standard and footprint of
today�s profoundly unfortunate Ethiopia.�

Would
you like to live at the standard of living of present day Ethiopia
just because you have no other choice?

If
we take this next added 100 million Americans to its logical conclusion,
every consequence noted in this series multiplies by 100 million.
That�s on top of the fact that another three to four billion people
will be added to the globe. Once they arrive, they won�t vanish. They
will impact everything.

The
most astounding aspect of what�s happening to the United States stems
from national denial. It pulses through our president, Congress, governors
and citizens. Environmental groups like Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Nature
Conservancy, Audubon, Natural Resources Defense Council, Blue Bird
Society and dozens more try to �save� animals, land and habitat. All
their work means nothing when they won�t address overpopulation. They�re
wasting their time, money and efforts. Nothing will be solved if our
population dilemma isn�t solved.

Once
we double to 600 million, we�ll grow toward 1 billion. India and China
proved they could do it. Bangladesh proved it could cram 129 million
people into a landmass the size of Ohio. They took it to the limit;
however, their societies allow the least human dignity, freedom and
opportunity. They suffer so many consequences they can�t solve them.
Thus, their citizens live in a kind of living lockdown.

How
far can we explode, speed and trample our country by taking our population
to the limit? Why do we want to take it to the limit when we know
the limit grows deadlier by the day? If these questions continue being
ignored, our children will be forced to live with the results.

Therefore,
what is your responsibility to the future? Every time I turn around
I hear, �I want to see my kids to have a better life than I did.�
If we allow this next 100 million people added to this country, your
children don�t stand a chance for a better life.

Ultimately,
knowledge empowers us to take intelligent action. Conviction without
action is worthless. Conviction with action changes history.

What
you can do for a better future for your country:

A
republican form of government is not a spectator sport. It means
you must jump in, roll up you sleeves and take personal and collective
action. Of course, you could let a dictator take over and do everything
for you, but that path would give you Cuba, China, North Korea
and other unsavory examples.

To
stop Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid from giving an amnesty, take
action. Call for a full 10 year moratorium.

1,
America cannot support another 100 million people added to our
country in 34 years, i.e., water crisis, resource depletion, air
pollution, gridlock, loss of quality of life, etc. 2, America cannot support lawbreakers being given citizenship.
3, America must maintain our English language. 4, America wants only legal immigrants who play by the
rules and speak English. 5, America's working poor deserve a chance at jobs taken
by illegals 6, America already has too many people and I support a
10 year moratorium on all immigration. 7, Americans must maintain our schools for our children.
8, We can no longer tolerate 350,000 birthright citizens
(anchor babies) annually that subtract from our own citizens.
9, Attrition through enforcement by stopping their ability
to wire money home, obtain rental housing and jobs. 10, An amnesty failed in 1986, and it will only be worse
today. We're being displaced out of our jobs and out of our own
country. Call with relentless and never-give-up passion.

To
stop illegal aliens in your community, you may follow the course
of action by Mayor Louis Barletta of Hazelton, PA. He offers a
bomb proof ordinance that takes business licenses away from those
who hire illegals. He legally halts landlords from renting to
illegals. Without work and without housing, illegals cannot stay
in your community. Check out his web site for instructions: SmallTownDefenders.com
